Users of virtual reality (VR) technology are submerged in a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment. Using this technology, researchers can simulate the effects of drugs in a virtual setting before they are tested in clinical trials, which is why it is becoming more and more common in the drug discovery process.Cost-saving capabilities of VR in drug research are a significant advantage. The cost of producing a new treatment frequently exceeds one billion dollars, making traditional drug discovery a very expensive process. Researchers may recreate the effects of medications in a virtual setting using VR technology, eliminating the need for expensive animal testing and clinical trials.
